a message from CEO Frank Kim Happy 130th Birthday! On August 1, the County celebrated 130 years since being incorporated on August 1, 1889. In those 130 years, Orange County has grown from a mostly agricultural area to a vibrant community of more than 3 million residents. Our County workforce is a large part of what keeps Orange County running smoothly year after year, and I want to congratulate and thank each of you as we celebrate this historic milestone. We’re close to celebrating another big milestone for our County: the opening of the new County Administration South (CAS) building, as part of the overall Civic Center Facilities Strategic Plan. County employees are scheduled to begin moving in at the end of this month. On page 6 of this edition, you can find information about parking at CAS, learn about rideshare opportunities, and read details about the proposed concessions that will be available on the first floor of the new building. Employees with any additional questions about CAS and the upcoming move are welcome to email their questions to Building.Moves@ocgov.com. Thanks again to each of you for your contributions in making this 130-year-old County what it is today!

DEPARTMENT: OC Community Resources - OC Animal Care FUN FACT: Dealing with animals and people because they go hand in hand
“A man and an alligator walk into a bar...” sounds like the beginning of a joke but for Animal Control Officer Erin Suggett it’s just another story from work. Ten years ago, she received a call about a man walking into a bar with an alligator on a chain in Huntington Beach. After other patrons expressed their concerns, the man put the alligator in the cab of his pickup. Erin impounded the alligator, while Huntington Beach Police discovered the owner had warrants out for his arrest. As police arrested the man, Erin asked whether he had any more alligators at home. Turns out, he also owned a smaller, female alligator. Erin and six officers, including a game warden from the Department of Fish and Wildlife, headed over to the man’s condo and found the second alligator in what Erin described as a pond full of chocolate milk-looking water that the owner had made in his back-patio area. None of the other officers offered to help Erin capture the reptile. After a few tries, she secured the alligator and took her back to the shelter. Eighteen years working the graveyard shift as an animal control officer gave her many interesting stories. As the only responding officer between 8 p.m. and 6:30 a.m., Erin fielded calls ranging from stray dogs to loose cattle to raccoons on light poles, and even a mountain lion in a backyard playing with a soccer ball in a children’s playhouse, often without backup. She prioritized incoming calls from 14 different cities and unincorporated areas of Orange County to handle bats, injured animals and lost pets. One 2 a.m. call in Rancho Santa Margarita brought Erin face to face with a raccoon loose in a house that – for a reason Erin still doesn’t quite understand – was decorated with a vampire theme. The man who answered the door was dressed like Count Dracula even though it was mid-summer, and not Halloween. He directed her to a room upstairs where she found the raccoon on top of a dresser. “He [the raccoon] suddenly realized the window was open,” Erin says. “He looked at me and then the window then me and then the window.” In front of the window was another dresser with two goblets and a dagger resting on a purple silk table runner. Erin said out loud, “Don’t you dare!” just as the raccoon launched off his dresser to make a break for it. Unfortunately, the slippery table runner didn’t help his landing so out the window he went with the goblets, dagger and table runner. She recalls running down the stairs asking how to get into the backyard. There she found the goblets, dagger and table runner in a heap, but no sign of the raccoon. On two separate occasions, Erin has ventured down a drain, once to retrieve a kitten when she was a rookie and a few years later to rescue ducklings while their protective mother attacked her head the entire time. Erin recently switched positions and shifts, and is now
the only compliance officer for dogs declared potentially dangerous and vicious. She shows up to dog owners’ homes unannounced or by appointment to establish the safety of the public and pets. Erin ensures owners are compliant with restrictions placed on their dogs, such as having appropriate locks, wearing muzzles when walking in public, and sometimes refraining from visiting dog parks and beaches. She says in both roles it’s important to establish a good rapport with the public to ensure all animal situations are reported while public safety is maintained. Movies often paint animal control as the mean old dogcatcher, but in reality, animal control officers are much more than that. OC Animal Care educates the public on responsible pet ownership, health and safety of people and animals, and provides medical care and temporary shelter for lost or stray animals. Erin didn’t think about a job existing that combined her two interests — animals and law enforcement — until a friend referred her to an OC Animal Care job posting. Out of a huge pool of applicants, Erin was one of five officers hired. Outside of work, she volunteers her photography skills at an ocean conservation society. For the last 10 years Erin has provided her photography services at Sea Shepherd Conservation Society for celebrity fundraising events and community outreach events. Additionally, she and her two Belgian Malinois show off their protection skills in competitions and she is a member of the French Ring Sport Club, Southern California All Breed Ringers. The first time Erin competed, she won first place, qualified for two National Championships and since then has placed on the podium a few other times. While many wouldn’t want to wrestle an alligator out of a dark homemade pond or work with dogs who need to wear muzzles, Erin loves going to work. “Choose a job you love and you’ll never work a day in your life,” she says.

The exciting transition to CAS will offer new amenities to employees and customers alike such as concessions. The County is working on finalizing a contract with a concessions vendor, which will be on the first floor of the new CAS building. The vendor is planning to offer a variety of Starbucks beverages as well as a broad menu of hot and cold food, including items such as sandwiches, salads and pizza. The concessions area will be open to County employees as well as members of the public, and County employees will be able to enjoy their refreshments in a large employee-only break room on the first floor. Additional information regarding the move is on the Civic Center Building Transitions page. If your question isn’t answered on the IntraOC page, please email your move-related question to Building.

MOVING TO THE
NEW BUILDING 16?
As your agency packs up to move to the new County Administration South building, don’t just throw out your older files, photos and other documents. Call the Orange County Archives and have them come see what’s worth preserving. Under the auspices of Orange County Clerk-Recorder Hugh Nguyen, the Archives is the County’s repository for historically significant materials. “The Archives is broader in scope than people assume,” said Assistant Archivist Chris Jepsen. “Our collections include maps, reports, snapshots, documentation of County projects, early property and assessment records, news clippings, artifacts, and much more. We even collect non-governmental items relating to the county’s past.” Located in the Old Orange County Courthouse, the Archives were established by the Board of Supervisors in 1983 to collect and preserve materials documenting Orange County’s history, and to make this material easily accessible to researchers, government agencies, students and the general public. To contact the Archives, call Chris Jepsen at 714-834-4771 or email Chris.Jepsen@rec.ocgov.com.

HUMAN RESOURCE NEWS YOU CAN USE SERVICES A section for news regarding wellness, benefits and other employee services
Exciting News for Open Enrollment 2020 One of the changes for the 2020 plan year includes the addition of a new Cigna HMO health plan that will be available to active employees during Open Enrollment later this fall. This plan will be offered in addition to the current Cigna and Kaiser HMO plans, but this narrow network Cigna Select HMO plan will have significantly lower premiums than the current Cigna Choice HMO, lower copays for doctor visits than both the Cigna Choice and Kaiser plans, and unlimited chiropractic benefits. The Cigna Select HMO plan is designed to make your healthcare experience simpler, more convenient and more affordable. You and your family members will be able to pick from St. Joseph Hoag Health in Orange County, Prime Care in Riverside and San Bernardino Counties, HealthCare Partners in Los Angeles County and Scripps in San Diego County. By limiting the network, the medical group has better access to all your medical information and can provide you with coordinated, quality and efficient care with a focus on improved health outcomes and a simpler experience. In advance of Open Enrollment, our new Cigna onsite Benefits and Well-Being Coordinator Paul Lopez-Wood will be conducting webinars. If you would like to learn more about the plan, its medical groups, requirements and coverage, please attend one of the webinars scheduled for the following dates: August 28 and 30, and September 3, 6, 11, 13, 19, 20, 24 and 27. Find the links to the webinars each week on the Human Resource Services/Employee Benefits website at www.ocgov.com/gov/hr. Open Enrollment will begin October 25. More information on rates, other 2020 changes and the enrollment process will be mailed to your home, in addition to global emails and County Connection in the months ahead so stay tuned.

PROCUREMENT POINTERS Educating Vendors on Working with the County Bid thresholds? IFB versus RFP? Services versus Commodities? Electronic bids versus verbal quotes? Bidsync? The world of procurement can be confusing for many County employees. Can you imagine how confusing it must be for the general public, especially for vendors who would like to work with the County? The County Procurement Office (CPO) understands, which is why it instituted Vendor Information Day and the Vendor Outreach Program. CPO hosts a monthly Vendor Information Day to provide vendors with information on how to do business with the County and to answer questions regarding the County’s procurement process. These informational sessions are held the first Thursday of every month (except holidays) and cover the following topics: • • • • • • •
The County Procurement Office (CPO) pose with Supervisor Michelle Steel, Second District, County of Orange Core Business Attributes and a guest at the 2018 Orange County Asian Business Expo. Expos like this gives CPO a The Procurement Organization chance to educate vendors on how to do business with the County. Types of Contracts Solicitation Methods The County’s Online Bidding System Registering as a Vendor Other resources to assist with business growth (SBA and SCORE)
The County partnered with the U.S. Small Business Association (SBA) and the Service Core of Retired Executives (SCORE) to provide attending vendors with additional free information and resources to make their businesses successful. In addition to the monthly Vendor Information Day, CPO also attends several business association conferences throughout the year. CPO staff along with procurement professionals from other County agencies, take their Vendor Outreach Program on the road. The most recent event was the Ninth SBA Southern California Small Business and Government Contracting Conference on June 19, 2019, at Delta Hotels by Marriott in Garden Grove. The conference provided a forum to educate, guide and assist small businesses in working with federal, local and state governments. The event was very successful with plenty of opportunities for networking. It also allowed County to discuss business opportunities in a one-on-one setting with vendors. This outreach effort provides the information necessary for vendors to do business with the County. By educating the vendors, the County assures that equal opportunities are available for all business types including small, local and emerging businesses. The CPO’s outreach efforts not only increased vendor registrations, but also increased the number of responses received to County solicitations.

Orange County Girl Scouts Learn Substance Use Prevention Skills
Nearly 30 Girl Scouts from troops around Orange County have a new badge and patch on their uniforms thanks to a pilot program from the Alcohol & Drug Education & Prevention Team (ADEPT) in Public Health Services. A partnership of staff from ADEPT and the Girl Scouts of Orange County resulted in an offering called Teens in Action: The Science of Happiness, for girls in the sixth, seventh and eighth grades. The program included content and activities that would satisfy the requirements for earning the Girl Scouts of Orange County’s new Healthy Relationships Patch and Science of Happiness badge. Teens in Action is an evidence-informed program designed to increase positive experiences and qualities that influence young people’s development with the aim of preventing substance use and other risky behaviors. ADEPT Health Educator Laura Buscemi-Beebe said the Girl Scouts, “learned effective communication, conflict management,
critical thinking skills for resisting negative peer pressure, and life skills to build confidence and resolve for remaining strong in their healthy choices.” The Girl Scouts were grateful for the lessons. “My favorite thing about the class was learning about how drugs can cause diseases and loss of life, and now I want to help people stop smoking,” said Mikayla, a Girl Scout Cadette from Troop 3436 who is in the sixth grade and lives in Anaheim. “It made me realize that there are people out there who want to make the world a better place, and they are doing that for their job,” said Ashley, a Girl Scout Cadette from Troop 3199 who is in the sixth grade and lives in Yorba Linda.

OC WASTE & RECYCLING
OC Waste & Recycling Celebrates National Drive -Thru Day
Drive-thru service, believed to have originated in 1947 along Route 66, sure has changed since the days of roller skates and meal trays. Drive-thrus are now used at many businesses like pharmacies, banks, coffee shops, and even waste and recycling facilities. This iconic measure of convenience is observed annually on July 24, National Drive-Thru Day. Now, you’re probably wondering what drive-thru service has to do with waste and recycling. Well, OC Waste & Recycling is trying to make it easy for residents to safely dispose of hazardous waste. This year, in honor of National Drive-Thru Day, we invited residents to “drive thru” one of our four Household Hazardous Waste Collection Centers (HHWCC). In exchange, OC residents received a free battery bucket. Did you miss National Drive-Thru Day? Don’t
worry! The four centers are open all year long to make it easy for OC residents to dispose of their hazardous waste. Not only do their centers help you get rid of unwanted household hazardous waste, they also operate Materials Exchange Programs (MEP). These allow county residents to select five items per week, per household of partially used household, yard and car care products for free! Before visiting, make sure to visit our website to view a complete list of what is accepted at the collection centers. The HHWCCs are in Anaheim, Huntington Beach, Irvine and San Juan Capistrano, and are open 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday , except holidays and rainy days. Follow @OCWaste on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram for more information on waste management and to receive recycling tips.

When Jack traded the family cow for a handful of magic beans, it seemed like a scam. But trading in cattle for beans has led to some of Orange County’s greatest fortunes. Local farmers produced over a million bags of lima beans each season during the peak years of the 1920s. California’s lima-growing region was near the coast, from Santa Barbara to San Diego. Orange County’s warm climate, rich soil and cool coastal breezes were ideal. The only other region where commercial lima beans grew well was Madagascar, which didn’t pose a competitive threat. Limas also required little or no irrigation, which was a hedge against drought. Even the bean straw was useful as livestock feed. The first significant introduction of lima beans to Orange County came in 1886, when James Irvine
planted an experimental 120 acres on his ranch. By 1909 he had 17,000 acres in beans. And by 1918 he had the largest bean field in the country: 37 square miles, centered on what would become Marine Corps Air Station El Toro. Later, farmers in communities like Huntington Beach, Costa Mesa, Santa Ana, Fountain Valley and La Habra also produced large quantities of limas. Other beans grew here also, including blackeyed peas — but the lima was king. Seeds were planted in April. Around late August, the plants were cut and left to dry in the fields. Once dry, the bean pods were separated with thrashing machines and then taken to a warehouse where the beans were sorted, polished, sacked and stored to await shipping. It was often as late as June before the last of the beans were ready for market. Among the best remembered of Orange County’s lima bean-growing families are the Segerstroms. Swedish immigrant Charles John “C.J.” Segerstrom and his family began farming in Orange County in 1898. They soon discovered the rich farmlands of Greenville (now south Santa Ana) and leased 40 acres there. In 1906, they purchased the land, which they called Willow Spring Farm. Initially they ran dairy farms, but they introduced lima beans to their land in 1915 — the same year they built a fine ranch house in what’s now Costa Mesa. The beans thrived. Gradually, dairy was phased out and bean production increased. The successful ranch grew to 2,000 acres and allowed the Segerstroms to live a rather cosmopolitan lifestyle — for farmers. They were university educated, went to Los Angeles often for the performing arts, and engaged in philanthropy. As the next generation took over the business, it was renamed C.J. Segerstrom & Sons. One of those sons was Henry T. Segerstrom, who would ultimately inherit the mantle of family patriarch. During World War II, vast quantities of lima beans were sent overseas to feed our troops. But local production dipped dramatically. This was largely due to the building of military bases on former bean fields. There was also a decrease in farm labor after the sudden interment of local Japanese American families. Shortly after the war, a hybridized version of the Hopi lima bean proved to grow well in a wider array of climates and regions. At the same time, Orange County land began to have more value as potential residential and commercial development than as crops. Like the citrus growers, many bean growers were forced out by tax assessment methods that tied value to the most lucrative possible use of the land. Orange County lima bean acreage declined steadily, from 27,715 in 1947 to less than 1,000 in 1980.
Around 1950, Henry Segerstrom began considering a new direction for the family ranch. Rather than selling out to developers and farming elsewhere, the Segerstroms would stay and become developers themselves. Ultimately, they would transform an enormous amount of land in the Santa Ana/Costa Mesa area, including South Coast Plaza (1967), South Coast Plaza Village (1973), Crystal Court (1985), the Westin South Coast Plaza Hotel and the surrounding “Town Center” area. They also built Park Tower (1979) across from the Old Orange County Courthouse, and leased other land they’d purchased. They went from “bean farmer wealthy” to “land developer wealthy.” The Segerstroms’ role in local philanthropy grew substantially. They gave land, money and fundraising skills to put South Coast Repertory Theatre and the Orange County Performing Arts Center (now known as the Segerstrom Center for the Arts) in the midst of their Town Center. Throughout his properties, Henry Segerstrom also commissioned and displayed modern sculptures. “By about 1960, it was quite definite that the end [for lima beans] was in sight,” farmer Roy Pursche later told the Los Angeles Times. “There are thousands of acres under concrete and blacktop that are lost to growing specialty crops of a quality that we’ll never see again.” One holdout was Joe Callens, who still cultivated four acres in Fountain Valley in the late 1980s. By then, beans were a money loser and he’d sold most of his land. He loved farming, but his efforts were confounded by adjacent construction. “You can’t ... farm with houses coming out in your fields,” Callens told the Times. “You’re overrun.” Currently, the largest bean-growing operation in Orange County is the 1,000-acre field of limas grown by 94-year-old Roy Pursche on land he leases from the Seal Beach Naval Weapons Station. In the early 2000s, the Segerstroms’ bean fields dwindled to a mere 50 acres surrounding their 1915 house. A few other places also bear witness to our lima history: the huge bean warehouse on Sand Canyon Avenue in Old Town Irvine (now repurposed as a Quality Inn); the Greenville Bean Growers’ warehouse on Alton Avenue in Santa Ana; and artist Isamu Noguchi’s “Spirit of the Lima Bean” sculpture in the Segerstrom-commissioned “California Scenario” sculpture garden near South Coast Plaza.

CYBERSECURITY CORNER What’s In a Website Address? Whenever you visit a website, you have to use a website address, more formally known as a Uniform Resource Locator (URL). Do you ever wonder why the address is in the format it is? How does knowing this keep you more secure? Read on to find out. Let’s analyze the following URL from the left of the address to the right. https://www.google.com 1. The first section – https:// – tells you the protocol that the URL is using. Typically, when browsing you will use HTTP or HTTPS. HTTPS means that it is secured with an SSL certificate and the data is encrypted. SSL certificates are data files that digitally bind an encryption key to the organization’s details such as: domain name, server name or hostname, organization identity and location. 2. The second section – www – represents the subdomain. This could be anything, not just www. What it really represents is a page or location on a particular website. 3. The third section – google – is the second level domain. This usually represents the name of an organization or brand and is what that organization registered as their identification on the internet. It’s usually the same as the company name but not always. 4. The fourth section – com – is called the top-level domain (TLD). It represents the type or category of the organization on the internet. There are some pre-set TLDs like “.com” for commercial, “.edu” for education and “.gov” for government.
How does knowing this information help me be more secure on the Internet?
When you visit your favorite website, it is good to know how to read a URL so that you know you’re going to the legitimate website of the organization or brand you intended to visit. The second and toplevel domain sections are the most important. This part cannot be faked by a bad guy. They can add a legit organization name to other parts of the URL but not here. If you believe you’re going to “google.com,” but this part of the URL address is not “google.com,” then most likely you are being tricked or scam. Another way this would be important is when you receive an e-mail, you can view the links to identify its legitimacy prior to clicking on the link. You can hover your mouse over the link to see the URL and verify if the address is legit. Check out the URL the next time you’re surfing the web and make sure you’re going where you think you’re going!

The County Cybersecurity Awareness Training (CSAT) went live on July 19, 2019. Many of you have received the welcome emails already. Due date is September 19. Please refer to our CSAT FAQs for any additional you question you may have or contact us at securityadmin@ocit.ocgov.com.

SAFETY SPOTLIGHT Avoid Heat-Related Illness as Temps Soar High temperatures kill hundreds of people every year. Heat-related deaths and illness are preventable, yet more than 600 people die from extreme heat every year. In 2013, for example, 16,320 reports of heat illness were so serious it resulted in days away from work, according to the U.S. Office of Compliance. Take measures to stay cool, remain hydrated and keep informed. Getting too hot can make you sick because your body can’t compensate and properly cool you off.
Stay Hydrated
Avoid Heatstroke
Who’s at Risk: • Infants and young children • Elderly people • Individuals with heart or circulatory problems or other long-term illness • People who work outdoors Recognizing Heat Exhaustion When the body loses an excessive amount of salt and water, heat exhaustion can set in. Symptoms include: • Muscle cramps • Clammy or pale skin • Dizziness • Headache • Nausea • Vomiting If you see someone with signs of overheating, move the person to a cooler location, have them rest for a few minutes and then slowly drink a cool beverage. Get medical attention for them immediately if they do not feel better. Recognizing Heatstroke Heatstroke can occur when the ability to sweat fails and body temperatures rises quickly. The brain and vital organs are effectively cooked as the body temperature rises to a dangerous level in a matter of minutes. Heatstroke is often fatal, and those who do survive may have permanent damage to their organs. Symptoms include: • An extremely high body temperature (above 103°F) • Red, hot and dry skin • Rapid, strong pulse • Throbbing headache • Nausea, confusion and unconsciousness If you see any of these signs, get medical help immediately. Tips to Prevent Heat Related Illness: • Drink plenty of fluids. Avoid drinks with caffeine, alcohol and large amounts of sugar. • Have a beverage with you at all times, and sip or drink frequently. Don’t wait until you’re thirsty to drink. • Dress in lightweight clothing. • Spend more time in air-conditioned places. Find a cooling center near you at OC Cooling Centers. • Never leave infants, children or frail elderly unattended in a parked car. • During the hottest parts of the day, keep physical activities to a minimum.
